fault outcrop

Tyrone in a series of much faulted outcrops.

It consists of folded and faulted outcrops of Jurassic limestone.

The margins of Morecambe Bay have been formed by faulted outcrops of Lower Carboniferous Limestone.

At the fault outcrop, the only damage was the shortening and misalignment of wire fences, and a bump in a road where the fault scarp crossed it.

Additionally, Sango Bay (geologically a graben) also exposes some of the best basin bounding fault outcrops in the British Isles.

The strata were folded during the Variscan Orogeny and frequently dip at 20 to 30 degrees whilst several faults outcrop in the cliffs on the north side of the bay.

The Upcott Slates provide the coastal cliffs on the south side of Morte Bay and their narrow faulted outcrop continues east-southeastwards beneath Georgeham and to Winsham and Marwood.

The Baggy Sandstones form the headland of Baggy Point and the faulted outcrop stretches away to the east north of Croyde, through Knowle to Stoke Rivers and Brayford.
